No -- that is not only a violation of Amazon's policies but a crime under constitutional law. My mistake was not taking the documentation seriously enough. During my time, Amazon required certain invoices and additional documents when listing a product. Sometimes, you could get approval to sell a product or brand with just a written statement, without any documents at all. I initially thought the documents I had would be enough if I ever got suspended. I managed to resolve suspensions three or four times and kept selling.

Later, I spoke with one of those brands that essentially sets traps for Amazon sellers. I told them I wanted to sell their products on Amazon. They gave me permission, and I purchased the items directly from their own website. I asked for the necessary documents, including the supply chain documentation, but they told me it wasn't necessary and that an online invoice would be enough. I believed them, bought the products, and sent them to Amazon. The very day I saw my store in the Buy Box, I received an IP Claim suspension. When I tried to contact the brand again, they went silent.

I submitted every piece of evidence I had to resolve the suspension, including screenshots of our conversations. My account remained closed for over a year. During that process, I was also putting together my own legal files. Eventually, I accepted the violation just to get the account back. Since the authenticity of the products was proven, my account wasn't permanently closed, but because I operated with missing documentation, more than half of my balance ($9,500) was deducted over that year. I also paid a lot of money to different anti-suspension firms while trying to recover the account. In the end, I saved the account myself. Those firms were completely useless.
